Contractor crews are nearing completion of improvement efforts for Burwell Street (SR 304). The paving portion of this project is complete which marks a major milestone. After paving is complete, crews will raise utilities back to the elevation of the road. This process will be loud, as crews will use jackhammers to elevate infrastructure.

If the weather cooperates, the last phase of construction that is noisy – utility adjustments – will be complete by Friday, Sept. 20. Specifically, there are 6 nights of jackhammering scheduled on Friday, Sept. 13 and Monday through Friday, Sept. 16-20.

Work will begin each weeknight around 8 p.m. and end around 6 a.m. During this time, crews will work in a linear fashion throughout the project limits between Warren Avenue and Callow Avenue. Expect one-way alternating traffic with flaggers during this overnight work.

4 p.m. each day until 5 a.m. the following day workers will remove old paint from the bridge.

Between 7 p.m. each night until 5 a.m. the following day expect one-way alternating traffic with flaggers on the SR 305 Agate Pass Bridge.

Noise
Contractor crews will blast old paint off the bridge. This activity is noisy. Due to safety and traffic considerations, this work will be done at night.

Reduced speed limit
The temporary speed reduction to 35 mph affects SR 305 from milepost 6.74 to milepost 7.06. The speed reduction will help keep travelers moving while WSDOT contractor crews repaint the bridge. Once the work is complete for the season, the speed limit will return to 45 mph.
